Step by Step
Setting up and packing down your RTT will become a breeze after the first few times. This is just a kickstart guide so you can be ready for your first trip away in your new Rooftop Tent.
Un-hook your Latches
Unhook the 2 front, and 2 side latches, gently pushing up on the handle to kickstart the gas struts. They will do the rest of the work for you!
Pull the elastic bunji cord down
Pull the elastic bunji cord down from around the tent fabric. You can hook it around the corner edges of your tent ready for when you pack it up next time.
Hook your ladder on
Using either side door entrances, or the rear entrance, hook your ladder onto the supplied ladder mounts. Ensure that your ladder levels are locked in and the ladder is at a suitable angle (75 degrees) ready for climbing.
Insert the 4 x Awning Poles
*This is an optional step*. If you would like to have your rooftop tent awning out, use the holes on the outside of the tent to insert the pole and gently flex back to hook into the eyelets of the canvas.
If you prefer not to use this feature, roll it up and secure with the stitched in hooks.
Clip on your Gas-strut Lockers
This is also an optional step but highly recommended for added safety. Using the black tubes supplied, clip each one onto your gas struts to help support the gas struts in case of failure whilst your tent is set up.
Enjoy!

Pack Down
- Remove your gas strut lockers and place them on the mattress inside
- Ensure your fan is laying flat on the mattress and bedding is evenly distributed in the centre of the mattress to allow room for the canvas when packed up.
- Unhook your rooftop tent awning poles and lay flat inside the tent.
- Using the 2 x supplied short bunji cords inside the tent, clip them to the plastic loops on either side of the side entrance ways. (This will help tension the canvas in).
- Now that the inside of your tent is ready. Stand at the rear of your vehicle ready to pull the tent down.
- Ensure the elastic bunji cord on the outside is lifted back up onto the canvas to assist pulling it in.
- Leave the side canvas doors down half way, and the mesh fully done up, to stop the canvas from blowing out when compressing.
- Use the supplied rope to pull the rooftop down. As it is closing, tuck the canvas inside so it doesn’t get caught between the sealing rubbers on the roof lid and baseboard. Secure the tent down with the latches and retract your ladder for storage in your vehicle.
